I'm really concerned about this ongoing chest pain I've been experiencing along with pain in my left arm. It's been happening quite a lot over the past eight months. I'm trying to figure out what's really going on. Any ideas what could be causing this?

This could be a sign of a heart condition, specifically angina or a heart attack. It is important to seek immediate medical attention. In the meantime, you can take aspirin (e.g. Bayer Aspirin) 325mg to help reduce the risk of blood clot formation.

I'm a little concerned about my ECG results. I did one using a portable ECG device and it says "Sinus Rhythm," but Im not sure if that means everything is actually okay. Is this considered clinically normal or should I be worried about something else?

Sinus Rhythm on ECG indicates normal heart rhythm. However, to determine if the ECG is clinically normal, other factors need to be considered such as symptoms, medical history, and physical examination. If there are no other concerning findings, the ECG can be considered normal.
